Borde nästan vara förbjudet att skrämma sin far på det här viset.

Apple har släppt Säkerhetsuppdatering 2010-005 som rekommenderas för alla användare. Bland annat tätas luckan i PDF och Apple Type Services vilket tyder på att samma hål som fanns i iPhone och iPad och utnyttjades av Jailbreakme också fanns i OS X.

Apple Type Services
Viewing or downloading a document containing a maliciously crafted embedded font may lead to arbitrary code execution

CFNetwork
An attacker with a privileged network position may intercept user credentials or other sensitive information

ClamAV
Multiple vulnerabilities exist in ClamAV, the most serious of which may lead to arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issues by updating ClamAV to version 0.96.1. ClamAV is distributed only with Mac OS X Server systems.

CoreGraphics
Opening a maliciously crafted PDF file may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution

libsecurity
An attacker in a privileged network position who can obtain a domain name that differs only in the last characters from the name of a legitimate domain may impersonate hosts in that domain

PHP
Loading a maliciously crafted PNG image may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitary code execution

Samba
A buffer overflow exists in Samba. An unauthenticated remote attacker may cause a denial of service or arbitrary code execution by sending a maliciously crafted packet

Att Apple vill använda sitt iOS i allt fler produkter är inget främmande men att använda det i en iMac har känts lite konstigt men nu har Apple kommit på en lösning och patenterat den.

Om denna produkt blir verklighet så kommer din iMac att fungera som vanligt i upprätt läge. Men när skärmen roteras ner och kommer närmare dig i en bra vinkel så byter den sömlöst från OS X till iOS.

While most of us were getting ready for the iPad’s arrival in January and Patently Apple hard at work preparing our major series called the Tablet Prophecies, a major iMac Touch patent was being quietly published in Europe.

First, Apple’s patent describes the transition process this way. When the iMac’s display is oriented upright and relatively far from you – the keyboard/mouse input mode could be selected and basically you’re operating in OS X mode.

Then to switch to a touch-based input, you’ll change the orientation of the iMac’s display so as to make touching the screen easier and more natural. For example, to enter touch input, you’ll want to pull the iMac’s screen closer to you while pushing the display screen down flat as if you were going to read a book, states the patent. In this orientation you’ll be able to select a corresponding UI which should translate to using iOS. In fact, the transition is really an automated process.

Verkligen spännande att kunna använda sina händer när detta känns bäst och mus/tangentbord när detta fungerar bäst.

Saknar du funktionen att kunna klippa ut en fil och klistra in den i en annan mapp så finns lösningen i form av moveAddict till Snow Leopard. Findern saknar ju som bekant denna funktion så man är begränsad till att flytta filer genom att dra den mellan två mappar eller kopiera, klistra in för att sedan ta bort filen från dess gamla plats.

Med moveAddict får man denna funktionalitet samt en del extra godis. Programmet kostar $4.99 för full funktionalitet men det finns en gratisversion som begränsar funktionen till en fil i taget. Kolla in videon nedan.

How it works:
• Step 1: Cut. Select the files you want to move and cut them (by using the keyboard shortcut or the menu icon). During this step, moveAddict simply remembers the location of the files, it does not change them in any way. If you forget to paste the files, nothing happens, they are perfectly safe at their original location.
• Step 2: Paste. Use the keyboard shortcut or the menu icon to initiate the move. During this step, moveAddict will move the files you cut to the folder you have open.

Extras:
• Merge folders. While moving files, if moveAddict detects that you are trying to replace a folder, it lets you choose whether you want to completely replace the folder or merge the two.
• Familiar keyboard shortcuts. You can use ⌘-X and ⌘-V as your shortcuts or you can choose your own.
• No hacks. moveAddict doesn’t modify the Finder or any System file in any way. It’s just a regular application which you can uninstall by deleting it.
• Easy to configure. The moment you run moveAddict, you can start cutting and pasting files. However, if you’d like to change something, you can do it in the preferences.
• Too many menu icon applications? No problem! You can hide moveAddict’s icon and forget about it, it will only show again when you cut a file.

Via Patently Apple kommer här ett intressant patent från Apple som tyder på att de funderar på att sätta in tryckkänsliga skärmar i sin MacBooks.

Yet the big news buried deep within all ten of this week’s display-centric patents is a clear-cut fact that the MacBook is destined to also gain a multi-touch display. There’s no wishy-washy lingo about it and today’s report will show you the details.
